Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] falcondesktop.finance, a phishing domain, targets users by masquerading as a financial service platform. It claims to offer 'Universal Collateralization Infrastructure' under the guise of Falcon Finance Desktop. Despite being taken down, it was detected early by PhishDestroy, capturing it before antivirus databases could update. This highlights the domain's freshness rather than safety, as it had zero detections on VirusTotal at the time of identification. The domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and hosted on an IP address managed by Lefkoff Industries in the United States. The SSL certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for phishing sites due to its free and automated nature. PhishDestroy's platform assigned it a risk score of 63 out of 100, indicating a significant threat level. Interestingly, falcondesktop.finance appeared on only one public blocklist, maintained by PhishDestroy. This underscores the importance of early detection systems that operate upstream of traditional antivirus vendors. By identifying such threats in their nascent stages, PhishDestroy helps mitigate the risk before these domains can propagate through conventional security channels. The swift takedown of this domain reflects effective collaboration between threat intelligence entities and hosting providers. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 221139f0e59ac923a1dac6bc8f107fcb TLS cert SHA-256: 5cdbf64c4cac225ec7a9c49d3f6b7ff11f40f81e2c4174779eed9fc37d1e410b ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (operator takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/falcondesktop.finance/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=falcondesktop.finance Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
